Legal Stuff that should keep laywers at bay...



Dear fellow adventurers!

First of all a warning: climbing mountains can kill you just as easily as driving a car or eating a five day old pizza.

 

It is creeping into world culture to blame everything on everybody but oneself.

Don't. It is your own responsibility to make sure you and your climbing partners are fit, skilled, informed and equipped enough before you try anything adventurous as hiking or climbing, especially in foreign countries. Don't blame this website or it's owners, your friends or family, higher beings or even your fellow climbers for any physical or mental injury, lethal or not; in the end it's you who did the things you did. Please think about that for a second or 2.

 

All information on this website and in the 7summits.com newsletters  is put here in good faith; 7summits.com is not responsible for any inaccuracies or anything going wrong as a result of these. Also not all information posted here is authored or approved us as visitors can post on the forum, guestbook etc. If anything on this site is incorrect, insulting or doing you wrong, please notify us and we will check it out.

 

Prices and terms for expeditions are normally guaranteed. In general we do not even charge raised park fees if the booking has been confirmed before the rise has been known, unless the rise in fees is so high that we cannot bear the extra costs. We reserve the right to increase the costs charged accordingly or cancel the booking. This is also true for obvious calculation mistakes.

 

Be wise on the mountains and in life in general, respect nature, other cultures, yourself and your fellow climbers and you will probably be ok for a long time; remember: reaching the summit is only half of the story, getting down ok is the only way to tell about your accomplishments. Act sensibly, enjoy the wonderful world and make sure future generations can do the same.
